Cancer Risk linked to Diabetes Treatment

November 14, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

By Frank Lyle

“Actos” is the brand name for a drug (pioglitazone) used to treat adult onset, Type-II diabetes. In June of 2011, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed the public that this drug may increase the risk of bladder cancer. The FDA required new warnings to be placed on the medication’s label sold under the names Actos, Actoplus Met and Duetact. The drug has already been pulled off the market in France and Germany. It has been estimated that more than 2 million patients filled prescriptions for the drug between January 2010 and October 2010. Our attorneys at SpringerLyle are screening these cases very carefully. If you or someone you know has used this drug and has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, we might be able to help.
